THANK YOU everyone!!! I can barely contain my excitement!!!
and on updating... Oh I will! I will!! LOL I'm soooooo excited! I have to get kids at the bus stop and then drag a kid to piano tonight, but I'll be back to update any progress!!! I have never had an egg hatch before, so I don't know how long this process takes. I'm thinking several hours??? Anyway, They are in a wire kennel and I'm going to need to put cardboard all around the lower portion of it so the chick doesn't escape. Maybe tonight-- I can't imagine it will be ready to run around tonight-- it may not even be hatched yet? Anyway, later!!!

Don't get worried. It can take more than 24 hours after pipping.

ADORABLE!

So far, all the chicks have dark beaks and toes, BUT this one... and it's the cutest one!!
Will it get darker? Or my fear.... my poor quality silkie, Cloud, got some quick action one day...

Hey folks!

I am curious as to how to breed darker lavander if what I have currently seems to hatch as a self-blue and then feathers out to an -almost- white... Its more slivery white then then white... But what can I breed them to, for a darker lav?

Here is a new lav chick we just hatched out, now about a week old.

So my Nugget has been making weird noises. He/she purs or makes this calling out noise. It doesn't sound like a crow. It's like an alarm or something. LOL I took this picture of Nugget and right after Nugget started with the pur noise. Has anyone else experienced that? Does it mean anything? lol

My silkies have an amazing vocabulary. I'm still trying to decifer it all!

That's an adorable chick but I think it's too early to say what color it's going to be. Hard to be patience I know!!
